Fri. 5/1/09 10:03am From: Pearly Sweets

This gets the hips wiggling.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:04am From: Devin

It's probably a wise choice to don some trousers until cocktail hour. At least thats my plan.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:06am From: annie

hhmmmm, cocktails....

Fri. 5/1/09 10:06am From: dragonflyshards

(dancing in the kitchen)

Fri. 5/1/09 10:10am From: annie

Fri. 5/1/09 10:11am From: Feral Cat

Love this song...yip yip!!!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:13am From: still b/p

(Imagining dancing to this in beachside thatch-shade during a 120 day vacation.)

Fri. 5/1/09 10:14am From: Cecile

Isa cool.
that's the name of my favorite Enslaved album. Viking dog.
aw, you can talk gardening. Doug is all about the nurturing.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:14am From: dragonflyshards

it's early for me...i've friends who think i'm a wuss for rarely drinking B4 7pm...but i dont chase my whiskey,like they do!..(ps Annie--sorry...it's a round room)

Fri. 5/1/09 10:15am From: Isa

Woof

Fri. 5/1/09 10:15am From: annie

cecile, it makes me happy to know i pleased the viking soul within you, and dragon, any time after 10 is fine, i call it "brunch"

Fri. 5/1/09 10:17am From: Feral Cat

Meowza

Fri. 5/1/09 10:17am From: dragonflyshards

hi,Isa...it's pronounced (ee-sa),right?

Fri. 5/1/09 10:18am From: annie

yes.... ee-sa. and she is getting to know it quickly. i just thought those of you who would like to, there is a FB fan group for <s> !! almost 250,000 fans

Fri. 5/1/09 10:19am From: dragonflshards

i make exceptions

Fri. 5/1/09 10:25am From: still b/p

That set was outSTANDING.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:26am From: Cecile

heh heh the sarcastic <s>!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:27am From: annie

doug, a man after my own heart... what would we do without it, eh?

Fri. 5/1/09 10:27am From: <s>

<s>o?

Fri. 5/1/09 10:28am From: Devin

Thanks for playing some "African, afro-pop" for us... I remember the first time I heard King Sunny Ade's Juju music...

Fri. 5/1/09 10:28am From: Cecile

bwah!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:28am From: Cecile

Devin, I agree.
I saw King Sunny in '87. What a party!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:29am From: New Name

Can I haz comment? LOL

Great show so far!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:29am From: chris

hey doug, enjoying tha show...thanks for the brazda brothers!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:29am From: annie

is afro-pop worldwide still on the air or did he ruin himself with popularity?

Fri. 5/1/09 10:32am From: Devin

Cecile - I'll bet that was somethin' else!!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:32am From: dragonfryshards

Doug,me too...when i'm home, i have trouble falling asleep w.out music....Cecile -did you see K Sunny Ade at "the pier" in NY?

Fri. 5/1/09 10:32am From: Cecile

I did not know these two played together!
Where can I find that record!
I love pre-sap Gato

Fri. 5/1/09 10:33am From: Cecile

No, at the State Theatre in Ann Arbor.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:34am From: LOL Gato

Thanks for the spin!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:34am From: Cecile

Devin, it was awesome.
Everyone was dancing, and all the Nigerians would go onstage and put dollar bills on Sunny's forehead. I guess that's a sign there that he's hitting it out of the park.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:36am From: Devin

C - What ?! That's wild...

Fri. 5/1/09 10:37am From: dragonflyshards

-just curious..i dont recall the exact year i saw them(him)...they did that dollar bill thing at Ebinezer Obey show,too.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:39am From: Cecile

Yep. The more bills they put on your forehead, the better your'e doing. He probably walked out of there with a suitcase of cash. Well earned.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:40am From: Cecile

dragon, I would love to see Obey. He is damn good.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:40am From: Carmichael

Hi Doug and boarders. Got here just in time for the African set.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:40am From: Cecile

I need this Dollar Brand/Johnny Dyani too

Fri. 5/1/09 10:41am From: William Twotits

Should I go with a black ipod or a silver ipod, crew?

Fri. 5/1/09 10:42am From: Carmichael

IMHO, black hides the greasy fingerprints better.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:43am From: dragonflyshards

'twas good.-small room on rutgers campus...but i still like Ade' better(no offense to Mr O)

Fri. 5/1/09 10:43am From: William Twotits

Then black it will be. That is where I was leaning, but the classic silver has its charm too and will remind me of the one I am replacing.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:44am From: wigg

go with the truffle shuffle

Fri. 5/1/09 10:44am From: Devin

My first intro to african music was from professor / priest Gideon Alorwoyie at UNT here in Denton...regarded as one of Ghana's foremost virtuosos of traditional music and dance. He's also high priest of the Yewe cult.... Interesting cat.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:46am From: Carmichael

I went to a weekend World Music Festival and saw The Mighty Sparrow. Was completely blown away and confused. I needed all the African genres after that, and pronto.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:49am From: Cecile

Can you get pink, Wiliam? I like pink.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:49am From: dragonflyshards

whew!Mighty Sparrow's mighty.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:50am From: Cecile

Devin, to me Ade has the better tunes, but Obey has the killer grooves. hard to choose.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:50am From: dragonflyshards

carnation pink,w a shiny white fringe.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:50am From: William Twotits

Sadly not. I am getting the ipod classic for more space. With the amount of albums in my collection it would be a waste to get anything less.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:51am From: William Twotits

But I might be tempted to put it in a hot pink protective case, if available.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:52am From: Cecile

Ah, true.

There are many cute hot pink cases out there. This time I did a change up from the pink for mine, and got black rubber with a red tiger stripe pattern.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:53am From: Devin

C - Indeed...

Fri. 5/1/09 10:55am From: Gjorgji

the last set is a bliss. amazing

Fri. 5/1/09 10:55am From: Pearly Sweets

That was quite a Steven Bernstein moment there.

Fri. 5/1/09 10:55am From: dragonfryshards

luckily,we dont have to choose favorites...but i pull out the"Ju Ju Music"album when i want to take a little trip

Fri. 5/1/09 10:55am From: north guinea hills

i turn on the playlist, and see all of the abdullah ibrahim tunes listed, and i was afraid he had died. thank god!

Fri. 5/1/09 10:58am From: Drummer Some

NGH,
I just knew someone would reach that conclusion. Sorry for the jolt. Ibrahim will be 75 yrs young in October!

Fri. 5/1/09 11:00am From: Carmichael

I just noticed that Baaba Maal will be playing nearby in the fall. A must see, so I'm going.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:03am From: dragonfshards

i like that you,Doug,play sets occupied by much of one artist,sometimes...some radio people say that's bad,somehow...i think you're captain of a groove,and thats how i like it....let me sink in.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:05am From: Travis

Doug ~ Did you know that Ibrahim's daughter is hip-hop artist, Jean Grae, who has been featured on a couple of Herbaliser (UK) albums

Fri. 5/1/09 11:07am From: Cecile

I did not know that!
Wow, there are so many jazz artists who have rapper sons/daughters

Fri. 5/1/09 11:11am From: Carmichael

Strangely, I would enjoy some yodeling right about now.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:14am From: north guinea hills

the only jean grae i have is on a mr. liff album. i have't paid attention to the herbaliser in ages.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:15am From: dragonshyflards

Not strange!..i Love good yodels...or,maybe Don Walser's version of"long black veil"(live on FMU)

Fri. 5/1/09 11:15am From: Drummer Some

Trumpeter Olu Dara's son is Nas.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:19am From: Satisfied Customer.

Absolutely.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:21am From: Carmichael

The guy from Sons of the Pioneers is who I was thinking about. Is that Ranger Doug, or do I have my yodelers mixed up?

Fri. 5/1/09 11:23am From: chris

Hey Doug, great show. You listened to John Funke yet?

Fri. 5/1/09 11:23am From: Roy Pea

Thanks for this cheerful country set, Doug! Like you, I am looking for work, and this is really boosting my spirits. After a tough week, I needed it.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:28am From: fishmonkeystew

I love happy death songs!

Fri. 5/1/09 11:30am From: Travis

Yo Charmichael -- Actually Ranger Doug is a contemporary yodeler. He heads up Riders in the Sky -- kind of a cowboy novelty group.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:31am From: Sister Hairy Hymen

I must say that your Blog is one of best kept secrets of the INTERNET

Fri. 5/1/09 11:32am From: Sister Hairy

And your show is damn good too.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:37am From: chris

You takin' requests Doug? how bout some Snoooks?

Fri. 5/1/09 11:37am From: Carmichael

Thanks, Travis. I knew I had a brain bubble there.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:40am From: El Thatchmo...

Me too....

Fri. 5/1/09 11:48am From: Cecile

I think Solomon should be in the Country Hall of Fame. I'm serious.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:49am From: Drummer Some

No time for requests, Chris, though I love Snooks, as you surely know...

Fri. 5/1/09 11:51am From: chris

I do know that Doug. It was a weird synchronicity for me because I heard you play him right after I heard about him for the first time a few months ago and then he died like the next week! The last time you played one of his tracks the song blew me away.

Fri. 5/1/09 11:54am From: Carmichael

This is so Temptations-ey ....

Fri. 5/1/09 11:56am From: ALF of Hip Hop Slam

Doug,
Are most of the stuff you play on your show only on CD?

Fri. 5/1/09 11:57am From: PMD

hmmm... x-rated soul/funk

Fri. 5/1/09 11:58am From: Carmichael

Bobby Marchan was a successful female impersonator for many years in New Orleans.
